“Stop Fixing Your Life” (Find a New Life by Grace) (Matthew 9:14-17) 04/19/2026

When something is wrong, it is natural to try to fix it and become who we think we should be. But over time, we begin to see that this does not truly change us or bring us closer to God. In Matthew 9:14–17, Jesus confronts that way of thinking and shows that we cannot relate to God through what we do but must receive what He gives. He did not come to improve our efforts, but to give us a new life by grace. When our approach isn’t working, how do we receive the new life Jesus gives?
